Even with a light beard, no close shavesmediocre at best. I suppose the shaver is average for that in trying to save a few dollars I bought something that wasn't up to the job, even though my beard should not be a challenge to any razor. This item works no better than an average beard and mustache trimmer.

DisappointingAlways took a long time for a shave, but I could put up with it at first because it was a closer shave than my previous razor. Now it takes a really long time to shave and takes many passes to look decent. Today, it started at 80% battery and died before i even finished. Always dies at 60% battery. Only had the razor for around a year, looking for something better.

Great, close shaveBeen using electric razors for years. This is, by far, the best razor I have owned.

Best for the priceReplaced a cheaper two blade cordless and cut my shave time to a minute or so.

So Surprised!I have owned Panasonic shavers for over 20 years and the RT51 is my best experience yet. I have had several more expensive models yet I'm getting my most enjoyable shaving experience from the lower cost RT51 than any of the previous owned.
I decided to start using a gel right from the get go which I had never done before, choosing to just use it in the shower in the past. It seems to lubricate the experience and gives a closer shave.

TYPICAL PANASONIC PRODUCTI have used this razor for about 10 months now and will say that this shaver is very typical of the many Panasonic products I have owned over the years. Panasonic builds the best products on the market at costs that do not drain your pocket book. This razor is a top performer both when I shave dry or I use gel, foam, or creme. It is quiet, easy to clean, rock solid, displays the percentage of remaining battery use, charges in 1 hour and believe it or not gives a close, comfortable shave every time. My one criticism is with the cost of replacing the screen and blades. The cost for these two items is almost as much as a new shaver, however, I must say that is the cost of a great shave. You get what you pay for. I swear by Panasonic and would never buy anything else! 2 of my grandson's will each have this shaver delivered by Santa this year.

Not what I expected from PanasonicThis is an easy razor to handle and feels good.
As for shaving, it does not shave close and I always have to do a follow-up with a safety razor.
I am disappointed with this product and now realize why it was on a discount sale.
CAVEAT EMPTOR!
